Anybody telling you that you should accept being 320lb or 430lb is probably doing it from a good place, but is doing you a disservice.

- vinceguidry 3y agoIt's important to begin a journey of self-improvement from a place of mental health, not a place of dishealth. Public shame is one of the quickest ways to damage mental health.
- r00fus 3y agoYes, I too, was once obese (and currently am overweight again with "modern" BMI stats), but my place of mental health that got me from a BMI of probably 35+ to 23 wasn't my body. It was my overall view of myself (mentally, spiritually) and I moved my body in line with that mental picture. When people told me I was overweight (nicely) I agreed with them and I worked on it.
